The Nero Rit kitchen tap is a pull-out sink mixer with a single-lever design and a chrome finish, built for households that want a flexible spray function without stepping up to a separate spray head fitting. It suits everyday kitchen tasks from filling large pots to rinsing dishes and produce, all from one fitting.
Pull-out spray function
The defining feature of the Rit kitchen tap is its pull-out spray head, which extends from the main spout on a flexible hose to give reach across the full sink and beyond, useful for filling tall pots, washing oversized trays, or rinsing the sink itself. Most pull-out Rit models switch between a standard aerated stream and a wider spray pattern, letting one tap cover both precision filling and broader rinsing tasks without needing a second fitting on the sink deck.
Single-lever control
The Rit uses a single-lever mixer design, controlling both flow rate and water temperature from one handle. This is a practical choice in a kitchen tap because it allows one-handed operation when the other hand is occupied, whether that is holding a pot under the spout or handling food. A single lever also tends to be easier to operate for anyone with limited hand strength or dexterity compared to separate hot and cold controls.
Chrome finish and build quality
The Rit kitchen tap range is finished in chrome, a durable, easy-to-clean finish that resists the fingerprint marking and water spotting more visible on matte finishes in a high-use area like a kitchen sink. Chrome also remains the easiest finish to match against existing kitchen hardware, appliances and fittings, which matters if you are replacing a single tap rather than renovating the whole kitchen.
WELS water rating
Nero Rit kitchen taps carry a WELS water efficiency rating under the Australian labelling scheme, which measures flow rate and water use. A higher WELS star rating indicates lower water consumption per minute of use, which is relevant both for household water bills and for compliance with water efficiency requirements in some renovation and new-build approvals. Checking the WELS rating alongside flow rate is worth doing if your kitchen renovation has specific water efficiency targets to meet.
Installation and compatibility
The Rit kitchen tap is designed as a deck-mounted mixer, fitting through a standard single tap-hole in a kitchen sink or benchtop. Before ordering, confirm your existing tap-hole size and deck thickness against the Rit's specification sheet, since sink decks vary between undermount, topmount and integrated stone benchtop installations. If you are replacing an existing mixer, check whether the current hose and connection fittings are compatible or whether new flexible connector hoses are needed as part of the install.
Maintaining a pull-out kitchen tap
Pull-out spray heads have more moving parts than a fixed spout, so occasional maintenance keeps the mechanism working smoothly over the tap's life. Flush the aerator periodically to clear mineral build-up, particularly in hard water areas, and avoid yanking the hose to full extension repeatedly, since this is the most common cause of hose retraction mechanisms wearing out early.
Delivery and returns
Nero Rit kitchen taps ship Australia-wide. If the tap does not suit your kitchen deck or tap-hole configuration once measured, our 60-day returns policy covers unused, unfitted items.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the pull-out function on the Nero Rit kitchen tap do?
The pull-out spray head extends on a flexible hose from the main spout, giving extended reach across the sink and typically switching between an aerated stream and a wider spray pattern. This lets one tap handle both precise filling tasks and broader rinsing without a second fitting.
Is the Nero Rit a single-lever or separate hot and cold tap?
The Rit uses a single-lever mixer design, controlling both flow rate and temperature from one handle. This allows one-handed operation, which is useful when the other hand is occupied holding cookware or food.
What finish does the Nero Rit kitchen tap come in?
The Rit kitchen tap range is finished in chrome, chosen for its durability and ease of cleaning in a high-use kitchen environment. Chrome also matches easily against most existing kitchen hardware and appliances.
Will the Nero Rit fit my existing kitchen sink tap-hole?
The Rit is a standard deck-mounted mixer designed to fit through a single tap-hole, but deck thickness and hole size vary between sink and benchtop types. Check your existing tap-hole size and deck thickness against the Rit's specification sheet before ordering.
How do I maintain a pull-out kitchen tap like the Rit?
Periodically flush the aerator to clear mineral build-up, especially in hard water areas, and avoid repeatedly pulling the hose to its full extension, which is the most common cause of early wear in the hose retraction mechanism.
